thing they had done which their con
science approved uf, expl tUing that
our conscience is the 'Other Fellow"
and that he judges everything we do.
Sometimes he tells us we are
right, sometimes that we are wrong.
The following "Poem" was handed
i>; by Joseph Cox, a twelve year old
boy. He tells of a case where the
"Other Fellow" told him what to do

"THE OTHEIt FELLOW."
On one summer's day Percy .N'ungle and I
Were walking along beneath tile blue sky.
Till we came along to where some green apples
grew,
Percy grabbed some and away he flew.
An old lady came out and began to jaw me,
For taking the apples from her apple tree.
I said 'twas not I, she said 'twas a lie,
And she needed the apples to putin a pie.
She jawed and she scolded, "then who was it,"
said siic?
"I'll give you some pie if you will tell me."
I was going to tell her for I "love" apple pie.
But the "Other Fellow" said to me "Stand by
Old friends, for they stand by yoa."
So I said to the old lady, "No, I will not tell
Who took the apples, and I will not sell
My friendship for pie." Along came John
Glenn,
And he said the thief was Percy N.
He swallowed the pie, then gave a loud cry,
And fell to the ground and straightway did die;
And I was glad I hadn't told, was I.
DEATH'S DOINGS.
SMITH.
OKTHA LAVINA SMITH, WAS born, at
Sinnamahoning, August 13th, 1893,
died April 25th, 1910. The sad acci
dent, which cost this young girl her
life, occurred near the Lick Island Sta
tion, where she and two others were
liuiled from a river suspension bridge
across the First Fork which had been
made a raging stream by the heavy
raine. The little party was about mid
way on the bridge, which the water
nearly reached, when a floating log
struck against it, partly wrecking the
bridge and throwing the three into the
angry waters. Two of the party, a
man and boy, were saved but the
young girl sank beneath the surface
and was seen no more. The time was
about 12:15, her watch having stopped
at that hour. The most diligent search
by the large party who at once set to
work and continued from day to day
failed to recover the body until
Friday afternoon, when she was found
nearly five miles below the scene of
the accident. She was taken to the
home of John Clontz, an uncle, and
the funeral services were conduoted
from there and the M. E. church by
her pastor, Rev. Runyan, of whose
church she was a member, at 2 o'clock
Sunday afternoon.
A large congregation came from her
home and nearby towns to be present
at the sad services, many being un
able to gain admission. The casket
was banked with beautiful floral pieces
and the remains were borne to their
last resting place in Crum cemetery
and placed by the side of her mother,
who died several years ago. Deceased
was the daughter of H. E. Smith and
and Edith Smith nee Clontz. She is
survived by her father, one brother
and one sister and the family relations
who mourn the sad and untimely end
ing of the life of this girl "whose sun
hath gone down while it was yet day."
